Operation and Description of Features
In order to avoid causing damage to your Citia BOS stair lift or other property and to
avoid personal injury, you must become familiar with the location and function of the
features included on your lift before using. It is particularly important that you
familiarize yourself with the safety devices described below.
Operating Control:
A constant pressure pendant is provided on a hand-held control.
Pendant must be toggled to move the lift. The lift stops
any time the pendant is released. The lift automatically
stops at the ends of the track.
Wireless Remote Controls:
One control is provided for
the top of the stairway and one for the bottom. To
operate, press and hold one of the buttons
(one button
is up and one is down)
. When a button is pressed, the
lift will begin to move after a half second delay.
Folding Seat (optional):
Seat folds up to provide more
stairway room when the lift is not in use.
(A fixed seat is standard.)

Folding Footrest:
The footrest can be folded up and out of the way when the lift
is not in use. The footrest must be in the down position when riding the lift. Sensors
are provided in the footrest to detect obstructions. When an obstruction is
encountered, the lift will stop. The obstruction must be removed to move the lift.
Swivel Seat:
The swivel seat handle is provided on the side of the seat, allowing
the seat to be swiveled 70° at the upper and lower landings. To operate the swivel,
rotate the handle forward on the Excel model, down on the Standard and Select
models. Ensure that the swivel seat locks into position before sitting down. A safety
sensor on the swivel seat prohibits the lift from being used when the seat is not
locked in the riding position.
Safety Belt:
Safety belt must be securely fastened around waist or chest before
operating the lift.
Final Limit Switch:
In the unlikely event that the lift would over-travel its normal
stopping limit at the top end of the track, the final limit will stop the lift and render
all controls inoperable. A service call is necessary to put the lift back into service.
Battery Operation:
The lift is operated from two 12 volt batteries. The lift should
be connected to AC power to charge the batteries at all times. If not, a beeper will
sound for 20 seconds and stop.
The lift must be parked at either the top or bottom end of the track for the batteries
to charge. If not, a beeper will sound for 20 seconds and stop
(the beeper will start
sounding 20 seconds after the lift is used)
.
If the lift runs at half speed, battery capacity is 10% or less. This may have been
caused by the reasons above.
